..."Music for the advancement of Hip-Hop" (LOL!!!) and that was also solely because of the internet and "everyone" there loving them and calling them the future and shit.

For me, it wasn't peer-pressure or any shit like that-I was too old for that-but rather me feeling I just HAD to hear them due to the hype and just felt the need to have an opinion (maybe that is some kind of peer-pressure). I didn't like it at all though so no regrets even if I could have bought beer for the money instead (=my other expense at the time)...
